Surely afghans can decide to involve whoever they want. <br /><br />Karzi's main problem is that he has no power base. Even in Kabul! Pakistanis have made their conditions clear, both to USA and afghanistan, you involve india in anything that impacts them, you are a no no. USA have realised and adapted. Pakistanis and Taliban are not thinking 5 years ahead but 2+ generations. <br /><br />India's is liked in afghanistan but not respected or feared! Pakistan is respected by the fact they stood upto a superpower and sided with the taliban. In pak/afghan culture this is considered a debt of honour and not something that you forget. Feared because what they have done and can do in future. Its cultural you see.raw13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-22489277864507543212013-08-26T22:15:25.629-07:002013-08-26T22:15:25.629-07:00Asking Nawaz sharif to mediate is meaningless. Naw...Asking Nawaz sharif to mediate is meaningless. Nawaz Sharif is a clown peddling platitudes while the military-intelligence cabal let him play "Prime Minister". Unless and until the Generals in Pakistan feel confident, the Taliban will not engage anybody in any kind of talks. Futther, as they have already demonstrated the Taliban only see these or any such "talks" as a means to gain legitimacy. They will only play nice as long as it serves their purposes and as soon as the ISAF leaves - the Taliban will be gunning for Karzai - "peace deal" or no "peace deal". Further negotiating with one or two Taliban factions doesn't imply no more attacks against the ISAF or the Afghan forces - not every group is keen to follow the Paki lead nor play diplomat.
